HOW THE COMEDIANS ALLEGEDLY ABUSED THE CHILDREN  

According to NPR and TMZ, the lawsuit alleges the comedians Tiffany Haddish and Aries Spears groomed the children and coerced them into “filming sexually explicit child pornography skits.”  

The children reveal they were introduced to the actress and Spears through their mother and describe Haddish as a “longtime family friend.”  

According to the lawsuit, “Haddish and Spears took advantage and stole the youth of a 7-year-old child and a 14-year-old child.”  

The lawsuit details two separate incidents of alleged sexual abuse of minors, which both took place in Los Angeles.   

The plaintiff accuses the Hollywood stars of pressuring her to mimic fellatio for a video in 2013. The lawsuit also contends John Doe was coerced to appear in a sexually suggestive video in his underwear and that the 2014 film featured both Haddish and Spears.  

The video of the abuse, which is reportedly titled “Through a Pedophile’s Eyes,” found its way onto the comedy video website Funny Or Die and elsewhere on the web.  

“Funny Or Die found this video absolutely disgusting and would never produce such content,” a spokesperson for the company said in a statement shared with NPR. “We were not involved with the conceptualization, development, funding, or production of this video. It was uploaded to the site as user-generated content and was removed in 2018 immediately after becoming aware of its existence.”

‘MS HADDISH WOULD NOT BE SHAKEN DOWN’

In a statement shared with NPR, Andrew Brettler, who is Haddish’s attorney denied claims against his client and says they’re “bogus.”   

Her lawyer also told the publication that the children’s mother has been trying to damage Haddish’s reputation with the abuse claims for several years.  

“Every attorney who has initially taken on her case, and there were several, ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down. Now, [she] has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action.”  

Spears’ lawyer, Debra Opri, told NPR:

“He isn’t going to fall for any shakedown.”
